The Sears Centre Arena (commonly known as the Sears Centre) is an 11,000-seat multi-purpose arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, a northwest suburb, 25 miles from Chicago. The arena has 43 luxury suites on two separate levels. The venue opened on October 26, 2006, with performances by Duran Duran and Bob Dylan; it was estimated to attract over 750,000 visitors annually.^[1]

The arena is currently home to the Chicago Mustangs of the Major Arena Soccer League and in fall of 2016 will be home to the Windy City Bulls, the Chicago Bulls' affiliate in the NBA Development League.^[5]

The Sears Centre Arena is located near the former site of the Poplar Creek Music Theater, a venue that was also located in Hoffman Estates from 1980 to 1994. Food services are provided by Levy Restaurants.

In 2011, the Village of Hoffman Estates took over ownership of the arena after Ryan Companies US, Inc. walked away from the arena due to the arena's lack of success.^[6] However, since the village took over the arena and hired Global Spectrum to manage it,^[7] the arena has shown improvements.^[8]
